Barudak posted:I'd turn the game difficulty to easy if you like the story, since that makes the combat just less. This is good advice that I need to do more often. I end up quitting a lot of games these days that I was enjoying the story on, just because I don't have the time or reflexes anymore to git gud like I used to.

I ended up doing this with Fallen Order (switched to Story Mode about halfway through) and my most recent playthrough of Prey (had already beaten it on normal a few years ago, just flipped on Story Mode from the jump this time and enjoyed the ride). Cannot recommend it enough for folks who feel like they burn out on games relatively easily. It's also a great way to handle games where the act of playing it is either really repetitive (Yakuza) or hammered dogshit (Fallen Order).

Butt Discussin posted:I'm halfway through Yakuza 0 at the part where you control the hostess club owner guy and I'm losing interest in that part, and have taken a long break. Should I power through back to the story parts I'm more likely to care about, skip to something like Yakuza 6 which hopefully has better combat/gameplay, or skip to Like a Dragon which apparently has gameplay I'll like a lot more? sounds like that's around the point where I stopped playing. it's not a bad game at all, I can definitely see the appeal, but the combat gets really repetitive and the main storyline is too convoluted and takes itself too seriously for my taste. the side stories are great, though, but man I wish it were a much shorter game than it is

Play Yakuza if you want your daily dose of "wtf Japan." I'm giving dishonored 2 an attempt. "No Powers" is spicing things up a bit. Can't solve everything with lvl 1 blink anymore. I heard bad things about the sequel but the level designers did just as well so far imo.

I am already half talking myself out of it I own an LG OLED tv - I can definitely tell the difference with 4K, OLED to me looks better than other screens, HDR makes a noticeable difference, 60 FPS from 30FPS is like night and day I am not being a dick about this but I genuinely cannot tell the difference of 120 to 60 FPS.

Games For Gold next month has a pretty good lineup, I think. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/04/26/new-games-with-gold-for-may-2021/ Armello - Available May 1 to 31 Dungeons 3 - Available May 16 to June 15 Lego Batman - Available May 1 to 15 Tropico 4 - Available May 16 to 31 Tropico 4 is the best Tropico, really fun game.

Good lord some of the ui aspects of The Show are incredibly bad. Why do they have a whole separate section for packs instead of just allowing you to claim poo poo directly from the rewards track? And there were no tooltips to explain this I just had to navigate about like five different superfluous menus to find where my rewards could be found.

The UI is hard to navigate and super plain, looks like a beta. Coming from Fifa 21 to that is shocking.

The thing I find truly perplexing is just how aggressively difficult it is for new players. Like how there's some symbols that are clear like the snowflakes or flames for players on hot and cold streaks, but then there's a handful of other symbols and you can't just hover over then for an explanation so I have no clue what they mean. How does a triple a, in house major first party game like this have such loving issues with basic accessibility?

Real hurthling! posted:Its a sports game just blow it off The actual gameplay is incredibly good and playing RTTS is fun in a "just one more game" sort of way that scratches the same itch as "just one more turn" in Civ games for me. It's just that the more I am playing the more I keep butting up against glaring flaws that pull me out of it. UI isn't the only issue here but it is certainly one of the biggest. E: Like maybe don't have the manager demand I steal bases when I have a sub 40 speed and there's already two outs??? Professor Beetus fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Apr 26, 2021 |

More minor criticism of The Show for anyone who cares: they clearly put a lot of time into pushing the whole RTTS baseball rpg narrative of the 2 way player but then made approximately zero effort for how the color commentary goes during games to reflect it. Like when I'm playing as a starting pitcher and my guy is all of a sudden batting 9th in the order despite having the highest batting avg on my team and all the color commentary refers to the pitcher being an easy out etc

teagone posted:The only other FF I have any real interest in playing thru is FFX since that's the only other one I watched my cousin play back when it first came out. I'll probably grab the FFX/X-2 HD Remaster for Xbox after I finish FFVII. FF7-9 are all really good. They’re throwbacks, but if you like 7, there’s a good chance you’ll like the other PS1 Final Fantasies as well. 8 is my favorite, but I’ll be the first to admit that it is an odd bird.

Played another hour-ish of FF7 today, the charm is resilient and hasn't let up so far. Fun game! Still trying to figure out the materia system with what little materia I have. As an aside, having watched an FF7 Remake stream playthrough from start to finish last year, it's kind of crazy to me how fast I feel like the original game moves along the story in comparison lol. The bit where Tifa is on her way to Don Corneo/Wall Market in the Remake did not happen as fast as it does in the original it feels like lol. I was like, "drat, I'm already at this point in Remake's story?" I also realize Remake is only a chunk of the original story, but still, being able to have a frame of reference to compare to is fun and interesting.
